I walked away with two important accessories for summer from Sunday’s Lilac Festival; a sunburn (but soon to be tan) and these lovely earrings.

We saw quite a few variations of the feathered earring on display, but these really caught my eye. You can pick these up and other feathered accessories through Karly Thompson of She’s So boutique by visiting her facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/ShesSo

Dear Talula, thank you for creating the perfect summer shorts! These high-waisted,
button-down shorts are form fitting and stylish! Complete with sailor-inspired anchors on each button to remind us of the freedom and adventure that summer holds.

Ladies, check out your local Aritzia store for a wide selection of these Talula shorts in various colors. I bought three pairs: classic black, cherry red and nautical blue-and-white striped.

Lips are meant to be accentuated! Simply slap on some lip colour to highlight your best natural accessory – your lips! Various hues of lip color can be used to create the perfect, classic look and make you feel ultra-chic. There are quite a few brands to choose from to achieve this bold, mysterious look. Here are a few of my faves…

The “Just Bitten” line by Revlon works wonders in creating a lasting lip color. Lip stains create a matte finish but require fewer touch-ups resulting in a defined, dark look that is easy to maintain.

Want to create a luscious, glossy look? The “Lipglass” collection by MAC is the best way to do this! They have an abundance of bright, rich hues to choose from. My personal favourite is called “pink poodle”. Want to plump up your pucker while adding a tint of color? I suggest the “Plushglass” collection by MAC to get that bee-stung look sans botox.

Whether you decide to go with a deep blood red, a bright cherry hue or a passionate purple tinge, lip color should be treated as an accessory. A way to accentuate even the simplest of outfits. A bold lip color combined with subtle eyes creates a timeless look that personifies beauty.

So paint on a little rouge to draw some attention to those HOT LIPS of yours!
